In this fourth season of Succession, a lot of critical attention has been paid to what the characters say to each other. There are zingers throughout, but the show reached new heights in dialogue in the third episode, in which the four Roy children find out that their father, the Rupert Murdoch analogue Logan, has died. The inadequate simplicity of it all is masterful. “I can’t forgive you, but it’s OK and I love you,” says Kendall. Part of the reason this episode hit so hard was that it allowed us to forget—briefly—that these are some of the most poisonous, Machiavellian monsters ever to grace the screen, and to see them, in this moment of intense vulnerability, as four humans who don’t know what to do now that their father is dead.
